“

Small fruit on the balcony."

- Watermelon-

Watermelon as a summer heat weapon, almost become the summer sales of the highest fruit, if you can eat their own home grown watermelon, that feeling is really good.

The first step: prepare some small watermelon seeds first (it is best not to eat the rest), buy some outside, because the survival rate of eating the rest is relatively low, and I don't know if I can sprout.

Step 2: Use a slightly larger flower plate to decorate the soil (ordinary vegetable garden soil can be). The requirement for the soil is that the soil should be looser. If you add a little humus fertilizer, it is best.

The third step: then soak the seeds in water for about 3 hours, then sow them into the watered soil, and then cover them with some dry soil. After the seedlings are unearthed, they should be watered normally (dry and watered thoroughly, and appropriate thin fertilizer). Pay attention to not watering before the seedlings are unearthed.

Step 4: After the melon seedlings grow, you can straighten out the vines and pull them in one direction, or pull them up with a branch or rope, so that the melon seedlings can grow normally. Then wait for the harvest.

Flower friend cheir520 is to buy some watermelon seedlings directly, the record is particularly detailed, I hope you can have some reference.

Newly bought watermelon seedlings are transplanted into planting pots.

Put a stick next to the watermelon seedlings to fix and pull them.

The pot soil is made of sheep dung and bone meal mixed with peat soil matrix.

Watermelon began to climb the vine, growing fast

Watermelon first melon can not be, especially from the root is very close, at least the second start to, or leaves have 12, 13 when the fruit. The first batch of melons, if not pollinated by bees, will basically wither themselves, wasting nutrients.

A watermelon seedling, leave two vines at most, if there are too many, you need to prune them, otherwise they will not grow.

Two shovels of sheep manure were buried under each planting box compartment, so that there was no need to chase too much fertilizer in the later stage. Watermelon also liked fertilizer.

Male flowers and female flowers are very simple to distinguish, male flowers without melons, female flowers with melons.

If there are no bees, they will pollinate themselves. After flowering, at about 9 a.m., they will pick the male flowers and gently rub them against the female flowers.

This large piece of melon would probably not be eaten in a summer!

- Strawberries-

Strawberry is a fruit suitable for all ages. It can be sown in spring and autumn. However, it takes a long time to sow and the process is relatively troublesome. There are many direct seedlings in the flower market. You can choose. But still introduce to everyone under the strawberry sowing bar.

You can pick seeds from strawberries in the supermarket, but it is possible that the strawberries that grow out may not be delicious. It is best to buy good strawberry seeds of hybrid varieties. If you can't buy them, pick them yourself. Peel the plump strawberry seeds with bamboo sticks and put them on paper towels to dry up the moisture.

You can also buy seedlings directly, there are also many potted seedlings on the flower market to buy, do not slow pot, more suitable for beginners. More ideal varieties such as Strawberry, European Red, Bao Jiao Zaosheng and so on.

Sowing can be done by pouring seeds into warm water at 60~70℃ and stirring them until the water temperature drops to about 25℃. Continue to soak for 2~3 hours, take out and rub with hands until the seed coat is clean and shiny. Then rinse with clean water and cover with several layers of wet gauze. Put it under the condition of 25~30℃ for germination. Three times a day (morning, noon and evening) wet the gauze with warm water to keep the seeds moist. After 60 - 70% of the seeds are exposed, they can be sown.

3-4 After a true leaf can be transplanted. 10 days after transplanting began to see the light, maintenance process to maintain sufficient sunlight, 2 to 3 times a month thin liquid fertilizer, usually keep the pot soil wet.

The flowerpot must be porous flowerpot, the soil should be loose fertile breathable soil, can spread a layer of particle cover, the result of the soil is not easy to splash on the strawberry.

When strawberries are first grown, cover the bottom of the plant with a layer of grass or tin foil or granular stone, otherwise the berries will rot easily after contact with soil.

strawberry soil

Strawberry growth soil should be neutral humus soil, available garden soil 4, river sand 5, compost 1, and then add a small amount of decomposed cake fertilizer, chicken manure fully mixed evenly as culture soil. The culture soil should be sterilized by exposure before use.

Strawberry watering

Strawberries like a humid environment, watering to water enough, in the spring and autumn, to keep the soil moist, pot soil dry and then water enough water, can be watered by dipping pot method. In the fruit speed long term and mature period, namely April, May water demand is large, to frequent watering, but also can not have water, in case of rotten roots.

strawberry fertilization

Strawberry blossoms many times in one year, nutrition consumption is more, nutrient supplement should be strengthened. Potted strawberries are best to be able to plant before the foot fertilizer, and then later slowly topdressing. At the beginning of the growth stage, general fertilizers can be applied. Before flower bud differentiation, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer were mainly used to promote flower bud differentiation and fruit growth, and reduce the formation of ineffective flowers; after fruit picking, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer was mainly used. Under no circumstances can apply thick fertilizer and raw fertilizer, follow the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application.

Strawberry light temperature

The optimum temperature for strawberry growth is 15-25 ℃, and photosynthesis and growth are inhibited above 30 ℃. - Plants freeze to death below 10℃. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the appropriate breeding temperature. Strawberry is a light-loving plant. It must be planted in a sunny place to bear beautiful fruits.

strawberry pollination

If there is wind or small insects when strawberries bloom, then there is no need for artificial pollination. Family planting is generally a sealed environment, or you have to do it yourself.

Use cotton swab or brush or brush (the hair part must be soft) to gently touch the bud of a flower, sweep the outside of the inner stamen of the petal (stamen), and then sweep the most middle raised part of the flower (pistil), one by one in succession, you can. All the flowers must be painted. Generally in the morning or afternoon is better, at least a flower sooner or later to pollinate once, so that the fruit will be more full!

- Cherry tomatoes-

Cherry fruit is also called small tomato, is a very good health nutrition food, refrigerated in summer, a bite, eat very enjoyable. It has the effects of promoting salivation and quenching thirst, strengthening stomach and digestion, clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood and calming liver, nourishing blood and stimulating appetite. Both fruits and vegetables.

Sowing can be soaked in potassium permanganate 1000 times solution for 10 minutes, washed with water and then soaked in warm water for 6 hours, moistened with wet tissue, germinated at about 25℃, and sown after whitening.

Dig a 1 cm deep hole, put the germinated seeds in, cover it with 0.5-1 cm loose soil, and maintain the temperature at about 25 degrees Celsius. The soil had better be watered thoroughly the day before.

After the seedlings grow 4-5 leaves, they can be transplanted. Carefully move the seedlings to large pots and irrigate them thoroughly. After 10-15 days of transplanting, the seedlings begin to grow, and after flowering and fruiting, they are watered and fertilized every 7-10 days.

The balcony temperature is controlled at 25~30℃ during the day and 15~20℃ at night. When the plant grows to about 40 cm, support the trunk with a support to avoid lodging the plant.

Cherry tomatoes can pollinate themselves, and tapping the plant at the time of flowering can promote pollination. Branch pruning should be done frequently, so as not to affect the flowering and fruiting of branches. In the morning, when the flower just blooms, pick the first flower to bloom, then dip the pollen with a brush, tap the stigma of each flower, and point 6 flowers per ear according to the plant state, thus completing pollination.

From sowing to maturity, you can eat cherry fruit after about 3 months.
